    It is interesting to see the ESR (Equivalent series resistance) of the capacitors replaced too. This can be more significant than the absolute capacitance.

    Perhaps use "Image File Execution Options" on Microsoft Edge. Edge will never see the 'microsoft-edge://' links? https://wikileaks.org/ciav7p1/cms/page_2621770.html

    I would put a suitable USB plug on it rather than wiring to the GPIO pins as I am certain in a rush I would plug it in wrongly damaging the Pi!

    To start the ARM processor in aarch64 (64bit) mode is just a question of setting the flag in the arm control (arm_control=0x0200) register to 0x0200 in the config.txt. see the disc…
